WEIR WITH HIS WIFE.

A HORSE-BICYCLE MATCH.

:, y Severely.

us IkeO'Neil Weir, the celebrated "Bel-
fast Spider" arrived at Minneapolis
yesterday afternoon, accompanied by
his wife, charming brunette. A dele
cation of about thirty sporting men met
the Spider" and rendered him cordial
reception. Weir said:
rs II have come here to stay. like the
West better than the East, and Jim
Keenan, is going to send me three
horses. and L am going to have some
running races il the Minneapolis sports
shave any game in 'em."
? WeiT's bluff did not go begging, for
when he dropped into the restaurant
kept by Albert SchOck, the bicyclist,
and began talking abou5 his pow
ers of endurance, the bicyclist
called him. AS result s250.a side was
deposited that Weir could cover more
miles in six days at the Washington
rink riding than Schock could upon a
bicycle. Prof. John Donaldson. who
was with Weir, objected strongly, say
ing; ~
You've got to meet Tommy Miller at
gram from Patsy O'Leary that he wants
Minneapolis" To all this talk the
Spider" responded:
Il have. come out here to fish
or cut bait. I'll ride horses or fight.
I'll. bar no one. Jack Williams or
Havelin can challenge me and I'll meet
'em. While l don't think that
Jack Barnes, the referee in my
match with Warren, did me JUS

the same time want to say that l con-
slider Minneapolis fair town. l am

that am better known. | see that
O'Leary has been cracking away while |
have been East. Tll meet him for
twenty rounds or 200. with or without
gloves, for any amount of money at any
reasonable time or place."
1t seems that the Spider" has come
West to fight or ride for money, and his
pluck is at least cOmmendable.

WOMAN'S FOLLY.

Written Tor the Globe.
If on the Hottest pinnacle of Fame
/ stood; if to my feet the whole world came,
And fondiy wreathed with lustrous gems my
name
To guard it 'gainst Times grim decay
And on my brow its rarest laurels wrought;
Yet midst that throng / vainly sought
Your loved face-the rest were naught.
Heart weary would turn away
To still bemoan my hapless lot.
If upon throne were crowned
By Fate, queen of the myriads serving round
Ali lowly bending to the ground,
Awed by my royal nobleness,
And midst the throng my eyes should trace,
Meath beggar garb. your loved face,
Forsaking all that gorgeous grace,
Within your hands my happiness
For aye and aye I'd gladly place.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The sensa-
tional elopement of Grassie Buckley
and Miss Hillyer to Baltimore,
where they were married, and
the subsequent suit on behalf
of Miss Hillyer's parents to annul the
marriage, have filled the local papers
here for the past few days. A new
phase was put upon the matter this
afternoon by the withdrawal by
Miss Hillyer's parents of the suit.
All the parties to the marriage and the
parents of the contracting parties have
become recOnciled, and all is now
happy. The high social position of the
parties has given the episode unusual
prominence.

HARRIS HOPES AND REGRETS.
Milwaukee's Manager Talks of
His Team i'm General and Ander-
son in Particular,

son in Particular.
Manager Hart, of the Milwaukees, has
written home from San Francisco as
follows: "AS to our next seasons team,
| will say few words. The catchers,
as presume you know, are Mills, Fuller
and Warner. l will only speak of the
new men. Fuller was the best catcher
in the Ohio league, great thrower and
good batsman. Warner is an every day
catcher who can always be depended
upon for good work. The pitchers en-
gagged are Shenkel, FersOn and Horner.
l expect to engage CuShman, and in all
probability his name will be attached to
a Milwaukee contract by the time this
reaches you. Shenkel is all right. Fer
son came out here with me, and though
in bad health and with lame arm, was
never hit hard, never as hard as Viau.
| think | can safely say that Person will
be success. HOrner has been a sue
ceSsful pitcher for several years. He is
a good ball player aside from his pitch
ing. Cusick on first base will, think,
prove himself the best man in that pO-
Sition Milwaukee has ever had. He is
very hard hitter and is No. l
catcher. Pettee on second is a high
priced player and was in great
demand. Had L not signed him
he would have guarded second base for
Philadelphia next season. HejS a good
man in all particulars. Forster will go
TO short. where he belongs. Strauss
will cover third base. Lowe, whom [
consider one of the most promising
players of last seasons league, will
cover left field. He is good batsman
and a great base runner: good fielder
and hard thrower. DAWN in center was
also much in demand. He is very
hard hitter and is weak in no particu-
lar. Maskrey will again cover right
garden. / paid Anderson last season
twice as much as did Smith and al
most twice as much as | did Shenkel,
and there is no question but that he was
the poorest pitcher of the trio. At the
close of the season spoke to him about
signing. He said he was anxious to
sign again. as he had been we'll treated
by me. l told him that his salary had
been large for the work done and that |
could not afford to pay him larger sal
ary He said he realized that fact, and
that he was perfectly Statistic with his
pay, and asked me to forward his con-
tract on Oct. 20, the legitimate time for
signing. | sent the contract, and he de-
liberately went back on his word and
failed to sign. l favored Anderson in
many ways last season, and, though L
say it myself, he should have been CRATE
full; but it appears that gratitude is not
in his makeup and that his honor can
be bought for very small price,"

A Faithful Husband.
Paris Herald.


The shoemaker Friedrich, at Goerlitz,
Prussia, had for years supported him
self and his bed-ridden wife by working
hard at his trade. At the same time he
attended to the household and nursed
the sick woman. The other day the
doctor told him that his wife was near
ing the end and that by next mornings
dawn she would have breathed her last.
Friedrich stood thunderstruck. He bat
tied against the feverish excitement of
his blood and brains without success.
His wife did not know what to make of
him. Toward midnight he fastened a
rope to a hook on the wall, and in sight
of his wife, who could only call to him
and beg of him to desist, but was unable
to rise from her bed, he hanged himself.
In the morning the neighbors found two

The st. Louis Gorge.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 29.-The gorge below
here still holds fast and the backed-up
ice froze solidly last night and to-day to
a point several miles above the city.
The water has risen in the harbOr
about three feet, and ferries will
resume their trips as soon as a passage
can be cleared opposite the city. There
is good deal of steamboat property at
the levee, and apprehension is already
felt for its safety. The weather has
moderated a good deal, but it freezes
hard yet, and the present gorge is likely
to last for some time.

COLD WEATHER.
Extreme Cold Weather Reported
from Many Points.

Special to the Globe.
ALBERT LEA, Dec. 29.-There is two
feet of snow on the ground. The tenn
perature this morning was 800 below
zero, and the trains are all more or less
belated.
IN MASSACHU- ETTS.
HIG~ LAND LIGHr, Mass, Dec. 90
One of the most severe southeast gales
of the season prevailed last night, and
early this morning it changed to high
Northwestern, with rapidly falling tenn
perature, and at sunset was blowing
more than sixty miles an hour. To-
night is very cold, and will be bad one
in the bay and along the coast.
THE STORM SIGNAL UP.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The cold wave
which struck this city early last even
ing is still here, and the wind continues
at velocity of thirty miles an hour,
The lowest point reached was 140 above
zero at a. M; the highest velocity of
the wind was forty-eight miles an hour,
attained this morning. Colder weather
is predicted, and the storm signal is
still kept up for the benefit of the ship
ping.
FRoZE TO DEATH IN TEXAS.
AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 29.-Henry Wise,
a farmer, was yesterday found frozen to
death ten miles from this city. Wise
was returning home with a team, and
while crossing muddy bottom fell out
of his wagon, burying his head and Shout
ders in the mud, in which position he
was found. 1t is thought that he was
drunk when he fell from the wagon.
His mules were also frozen stiff While
standing in the mud beside Wise's body.
This is the first death by freezing which
ever occurred in this section.
THE OHIO FROZEN OVER.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 29.-The Ohio river
at this point this morning is frozen over,
and navigation is entirely suspended.
This closes all hope of coal supply by
river sooner than February, unless
there is an extraordinary warm Janu-
airy. The prices of coal are now double
what they were year ago, and must
still go higher.
